S Dasher g Troy Hits Umpire Lynch Other Notes or Interest. Deasley may be held by the Bostons. The Clevelands are after some of the Jersey | City players.
 Several clubs are after Dave Orr, of the l Metropolitans.
 | Colored Second Baseman Grant of the | Buffalos recently made total of twelve bases | in one game.
 'sWizard" Shaw, lately released by the | Washingtons, has been Ligned by the Port-
 lands to pitch.
 Clarkson, of the Chicagos, has given out, | which impairs the chances of that team get ting the pennant.
 Old Jack Nelson has been signed to play | third base for the New Works. Barney will | not be released yet, but will probably be kept l in reserve until next season. At recent game in Toronto the spectators amused themselves by crying, |" Kill the nig- gerl" referring to Buffalo's second baseman, l, Graut. Nice people, those Torontonians. Umpire Brady, of Hartford, was not ap- pointed a regular umpire on the National league staff, as has been supposed, but only until Valentines broken arm got in condition so that he could go back. Radbourn, of the Bostons, has been sus- pended without pay. He receives salary of $500 month. He says he has always tried to pitch good balls, and that there was no reason for his suspension.
 When the New Haven base ball team dis banded Troy and Halpin, together with sev- eral others, left New Haven without paying up their board bills at the Adams House The landlady has at last succeeded in getting her pay from Troy and Halpin, who are play ing on the Manchesters, by factorizing their wages.
 All will be glad to hear of the fine record Dickie Burns, formerly of the New Ravens, is making with the Lowells. This is his record for Wednesday: Five times at the bat, two hits-one of which was a home run-two runs, one stolen base, three put outs and two assists. He made one of his magnificent catches, taking the ball off the left field fence.
 pISGRACEFUL ACTION BY CAPTAIN TROY.
 Umpire Lynch of the New England staff telegraphed to the secretary of the league Tuesday evening: "Will not report at Lowell tomorrow; explain by letter." Wednesday morning MT. Lynch called at the secretary's office in Boston and tendered::his resignation in consequence of the way he was treated by Captain Troy of the Manchesters, formerly captain of the New Ravens. He said that he declared Troy out on decision about the correctness of which he did not entertain the least doubt. Troy disputed the decision, standing on second base, and said in tones loud enough to be heard by every one: "What in h-l is the matter with you. Come down and see it." For this he fined Troy $10 Troy then said: ''Tll smash you in the nose for this" The umpire, who was near the pitchers position, added $10. Then Troy advanced and hit the umpire in the face under the left eye, hard enough to raise bruise, and was fined $25 more, or $45 in all MT. Lynch then left the field and refused to continue, though urged to by both managers. Troy's fine was raised by the spectators and another umpire took Lyneh's place. MT. Lynch said that the umpire had no show in the New England league, and that it would be useless for him to go on any further. He says that he has had no trouble in any of the cities He will apply for a position on the league staff next season.
 In MT. Lynch the New England league not only loses it's best umpire, but one of the best in the country. Outrageous conduct toward umpires has been frequent enough in this league, but this is the first time an umpire has been struck. A more cowardly and dis graceful act would be hard to imagine. This is 8 m alter for the Ieague to take up. The severest punishment ought to be msted out to the transgressor.
